CHARLOTTE P. ALLENDER, OF CUBA, NEW YORK.

CRIB.

SPECIFICATIQN z'orming part of Letters Patent No. 307,251, dated October 28, 1884.

Application filed January 12, 1884. (No model.)

To all, whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLOTTE PALMER ALLENDER, of Cuba, in the county of Allegany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Childrens Cribs, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specifi cation, in which similar letters of reference indicate cor responding parts in both the figures.

Figure l is a side elevation of my improve ment. Fig. 2 is a sectional end elevation of the same, taken through the line 00, Fig. 1.

The object of this invention is to prevent children from falling out of cribs, and also to allow the crib to be readily moved from place to place.

The invention consists in a childs crib constructed with upward extensions of its cornerposts provided with crossbars, longitudinal bars, and hinged rack-sections, whereby a (hild is prevented from climbing or falling out of the crib. The crib is mounted upon caster wheels and is provided with handles, so that it can be readily moved from place to place, as will be hereinafter fully described.

A represents the corner-posts of the crib, to which are attached sides B and ends C in the ordinary manner. The postsAare made with upward extensions D, which are connected at the ends of the crib by crossbars E.

To the rear posts D and the rear halves of the top cross-bars, E, are attached longitudinal bars F. The forward parts of the top cross-bars, E, and the front posts D are provided with rack-sections G H'I, formed of bars connected by short cross bars or rods, and which are hinged to each other and to the inner bar F, so that one, two, or more sections can be turned back to give access to'the crib when desired.

To the lower corners of the outer section, I, are attached dowel-pins J, to enter holes in blocks K, attached to the posts D, to prevent the said section from swinging outward. The

section I is fastened down by a hook, L, or

connected by a round, 0, as shown in Figs. 1

and 2.

\Vith this construction the crib can bereadily moved from place to place, and can be used as a perambulator, if desired. With this construct-ion, also, the child cannot climb or fall out of the crib and be injured if left alone.

Knobs I? or other handles can be attached to the hinged lower section, I, for convenience in opening and closing the rack-sections.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A crib having the posts A, provided with the upward extensions D, the cross-bars E, the longitudinal bars F, and the hinged rack-sections G H 1, substantially as herein shown and described, whereby the child is prevented from climbing or falling out of the crib, asset forth.
